County Executive Lamont G. McClure and the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) announce that the County will begin accepting applications for the 2024 Public Safety Grants starting on July 22nd until 4:00 p.m. on August 30th.

Public Safety Grants are available to Northampton County’s municipal and volunteer Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) organizations. The grants can be used for capital improvements, vehicle purchases, equipment purchases, and training. Eligible organizations can apply for up to $20,000 per application or project.

Approvals are scheduled to be announced in December 2024.

“Our emergency management organizations play a crucial role in safeguarding public health and safety,” says Executive McClure. “These grants enable us to equip our first responders with the necessary tools and resources to serve the residents of Northampton County effectively. Although it is not a primary responsibility of the County, we believe it is our moral duty to assist police, fire departments, and EMS services throughout the County whenever our budget allows.”
